I’ve told you about The Bump<\/a>… how taking a small inconvenience on a flight can lead to piles and piles of free or very near free\u00a0airline flights.\u00a0 In March of this year, somehow I stumbled into a situation that resulted very much in my favor.<\/p>\n

Somehow, probably because of my proclivity for cheap fares, my flight from Boise to Orlando was routed through LAX with an ugly monster red-eye.\u00a0 I wasn’t exactly excited about it, but the first-class upgrades I had gotten thanks to my Delta Skymiles Credit card were easing my pain.\u00a0 When I got into LAX, I made my way to the gate for my next flight and positioned myself (according to custom) where I could pounce on any opportunity to skip the red-eye and have Delta buy my a hotel room for the night.\u00a0 Fortunately, it went down just like that.\u00a0 Before 10:00pm I found myself comfortably in bed instead of trying to sleep in an airplane.<\/p>\n

The next morning I partook of the breakfast coupons I had also been given for my troubles and sit down at the gate, voraciously reading “The Count of Monte Cristo.”\u00a0 As the time for my flight approached, once again the attendant made the announcement that the flight was overbooked, and that they\u00a0were looking for volunteers to take another flight.\u00a0 Once again I jumped at the opportunity, this time only adding a couple hours to the overall trip – a few more chapters in my book I figured, and for a $400 voucher, who can go wrong?<\/p>\n

These vouchers expire in March of next year, and though a beautiful summer has already arrived in Idaho, I’m already anxious to have a use pinned down for these puppies.\u00a0 My wife and I celebrate 10 years\u00a0of marital bliss\u00a0here soon, so I’ve considered an anniversary escape to\u00a0Hawaii.\u00a0 I’d also like to make my way into Cuba by way of Cancun<\/a>.\u00a0 I have a good friend who wants to meet up in Roatan, Honduras<\/a> in October.\u00a0 And there’s a part of me that wouldn’t mind seeing Nova Scocia in late August.\u00a0 If I need to, I suppose I can search out some secondhand vouchers<\/a> if we decide to take the whole family.\u00a0 It’s\u00a0a wonderful predicament to be in – plagued by wanderlust.<\/p>\n

Wanderlust with me – post a comment on where my $400 Delta vouchers should\u00a0take us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
